As the renowned and brilliant Senior class of Nineteen Hundred and Eleven, we feel that it is our duty to leave on the pages of this Annual a history or ourselves. j In the fall of 1907 we entered the C. C. H. S. as a Freshman class, distinguished, we suppose, by the usual Freshman characteristics. But, of course, We thought all of the attention we received was the result of our superior worth, recognized at last. We soon found, however, that all things were not what they seemed. There was the usual advice from Seniors, home-sickness, getting in rooms where We didn't belong, and last, but not least, the demerit marks. But soon we became accustomed to those things and then life passed quite uneventfully. We were too busy laying foundations for future greatness to spend much time on picnics and other aiairs. ' The next year found us Sophomores and a somewhat larger class. This was a happy year. We were just jolly, industrous students past Freshman greenness, and not yet acquainted with the cares and trials of Juniors and Seniors. A moonlight picnic was one merry event of the year. t th memor everyone holds in mind is of the picnic which has Bu e y gone down in history as the great exodus. Follow the Seniors had h th l' ed been told us so often that it became our motto. And W en ey s ipp away for a picnic one beautiful May morning, we promptly folllowed the example and spent the day on the creek. Next morning when we came back the doors were closed to us and when we were reinstated, Take all finals, was the sentence passed against us. But the orations delivered then would have melted a heart of stone or turned a Cicero green with envy, so we were finally released from that dreadful fate. We were wiser if not sadder for the experience. V As Juniors we continued the good Work we had begun in preceding years. We began to realize by this time that we were in school for a pur- pose, and that purpose was, to become Seniors. Our two social affairs were a marshmallow toast in early spring and the entertaining of the Seniors in the J unior-Senior reception. When we took up the duties left by last year's Seniors, the added cares didn't seem iso far as we could tellj to change us much, but from the many remarks about those dignified Seniors, we must have ac- quired almost as much 'dignity as a Roman Senator. And yet, in spite of the fact, we kept on marking out our different paths to fame. Some by way of athletics, others in scholarship and son on.. The Seniors won the inter-class championship in basket ball. On Hallowe'en eve We had a delightful evening at the home of Miss Eva Roberts. The Cherokee County Club of K. U. entertained us one evening during their X-Mas vacation. We enjoyed a marshmallow toast -33- one beautiful moonlight night this spring at the lVIcClung park. There will, of course, be more happy events before school closes. But all things material must some time end. And as we near the close of our mighty reign as Seniors, a touch of sadness mingles with our joy. For never again will we all be together. We will soon launch our frail barks on life's vast ocean. Some will go farther to school, others will enter the business world, while some of us will join the ranks of the teachers. But wherever we go and whatever many be our position in life, we hope and aim to win success. And in our hearts shall always be a grateful memory of the dear old C. C. H. S. and the teachers who made it possible for us to become the illustrous Senior Class of Nineteen Hun- dred and Eleven. CLASS WILL Friends, Nineteen Hundred and Eleven about to die, salutes you. Contrary to the custom in such cases, and loath as are all the mem- bers of my conservative class to establish precedents, only at the behest of my noble client, nineteen hundred and eleven, have I called you to- gether before her death, to hear her will and receive her gifts. I I was persuaded to this action by the unusual circumstances of my client. I dread to tell you, but be calm. The doctor is here, ready to re- vive all fainting ones, but he cannot attend to many. Here is my secret, keep it well. . A consultation of doctors was called together on Wednesday, May hte tenth, doctors never known to fail in their prognostications. They have announced that on Friday, May nineteenth, that the class of Nine-- teen Hundred Eleven must die. Had I known what a commotion you would raise, and how badly you would feel, no power would have dragged my secret from me. My client wishes me to state, that, owing to a lightness in the head, caused by its gradual swelling during the last four years, and a heavi- ness in the heart and other organs, caused by thoughts of parting and over eating respectively, she may have been mistaken in her inventory, but such as she thinks she has, she gives to you, praying that you may not believe that it is only because she cannot keep her goods that she is generous: We, the class of Nineteen Hundred and Eleven, about to leave this sphere, being in full possession of a sound mind, memory and under- standing, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby making void all former wills by us at any time heretofore made. And first, we do direct that our funeral services shall be conducted by our friends and well wishers, the faculty, only enjoining that the funeral be carried on with all the dignity and pomp our situations in the school scale has merited. And to such estate as it has pleased the fates and our own strong arms to give us, we do discharge of the same as follows, viz: Item: We give and bequeath to the Board of Trustees, restful nights and peaceful dreams. We promise them a rest from Nineteen Eleven's petitions. No more will we be called upon to bend our haughty knees to supplicate, no more will they be pained to refuse. It has been hard to have our fondest -34-. wishes thwarted: it must have been hard for them to refuse so fair a pleader. They have done their duty, and they have their reward. Item: We give and bequeath to the Cherokee County High School as a whole, the two songs entitled, respectively, The World is Full of Beauty and The Battle Hymn of the Republic. These songs to be- come the possession of the school on conditions that she holds them in trust as a nucleus to which each year shall be added others, until we have a collection to be proud of. Item: We give and bequeath to our best beloved and cherished sister, Nineteen Hundred Twelve, all the wealth of love and blessings she may want. Also to her we give our championship in the basket ball, foot ball and all the other trophies we once did win. May our mantle fall completely on your shoulders. But we will waste no time in giving to one who seems very able to get. Item: We give to the Freshmen class the following advice, accept- ing which will lead them to fame and to glory: copy the Sophomores, learn to work if not to wing development comes sooner thru bearing losses than successes. It isn't fun, but still, look at the Sophomores and be encouraged. p Item: The subjoined list will be recognized as entailed estates to which we do declare the class of Nineteen Hundred Twelve to be the rightful successors. First: The Senior privilege of wearing the hair cut pompadour style. Second: Professor Catlett's famous Senior lectures now descend to the class of nineteen twelve. Third: The Senior privilege of having a picnic the first warm day of spring, and the right to be gone until 3 a. m. the next day. Perhaps the most valuable of this list will be the Senior draniatics. Nineteen Eleven has enjoyed the excitement of the boards several times, our power of acting now descends to other hands. , How the list lengthens, next comes the Senior privileges, with Pro- fessor Catlett's premission, too Well understood to be detailed. Senior dignity is always handed oved to the new made lords of the High School world. We are afraid that this will be a strain upon the nerves and muscles of the gay and debonair Juniors, but we all hope that they will arise to the occasion, as they sometimes can. Last comes the hard things for us to part with, our ponies and our well-filled note books. The note books are well packed, and these we leave to the Juniors. To Grace Smalley and Roy Chubb we leave our Virgil ponies, and hope it will be their most valued possession as it has been ours, and we are loath to leave them behind us. ' .Dan Wellington leaves his right to be a member of the cooking and sewing classes to Hugh Makinney. To Miss Benton we will the right to flirt with all the big boys in school in the absence of Will. I To Earl Clarke we will Earl Hitchcock's energy, and trust that he will always have Eternal Spring. Roy Burt wills his office to Elizabeth Brentlinger to keep her brown- backed Caesar in. Beulah Stuckey wills all her interest in Walter Reid to the Freshman class. Anna Mountjoy wills her interest in Virgil McClure to Theo Hal- comb. Theodore Nystrom wills his interest in Dorothy Hicks to the Sophomore boys. I To Miss Jones, who will be comfortless on the absence of some of our faculty members, we will her, as a comfort, Rexall Remedies, and if these should fail, we advise her to take the Hood Q To the Athletic Association Roy Burt, Frank Larson, John Hamilton, Vic Housholder and Maurice McNeill, cheerfully will their interest in the crutches, on conditions that these crutches never go outside of the association. To the Juniors we leave our right of making public apolo- gies written or verbal, provided that the said apologies always meet the approval of the Professor. ' Earl Hitchcock wills his popularity with the girls, to Lloyd White- side. Beulah Stuckey wills her giggle to Lydia Best. Gladys Kinslow and Vic Housholder will the right of having the worst case in school to Grace Mott and Gilbert Jarvis. Freda Jones wills her old maid disposition to Kate Ketchum. Mearle Mason wills his flirting disposition to Harry Allen. Professor Steward wills his drums to Professor Morgan . Roy Burt wills his right to make Y. M. C. A. announcements to Leslie Henderson. Professor Cochran wills his support of athletics to C. H. Brooks. Mamie McCartney wills her precise speech and ever correct flow of the mother tongue to M. L. Brooks. Anna Heinrichsmeier W - Dresia wills her fondness for the boys to Frances Skinner. Earl Hitch- cock wills his pugilistic inclinations to Cletus Martin. John Hamilton wills his oratorical ability to Joe Farneman. Frank Larson wills his rank as a foot ball star to Charles Moody. Professor Jarrett wills his flow of emphatic exclamations to Miss Dennison, to be used at any ball game. Our case we will to Ethel Scott and Willis Reed. Besides these enforced gifts, we leave, not of necessity, but of our own free will, our blessing and a pledge of friendship from herceforth to all of our friends and well wishers, the faculty. All the rest and residue of our property, whatsoever, and wheresoever of what nature, kind and quality soever it may be, and not herein disposed of fafter paying our debts and funeral expensesl we give and bequeath to Professor Catlett, for his absolute use. If he sees iit, he may use the startling information we have given him in examinations, in the education of our younger brothers and sisters. This latter matter is, entirely to his own discretion. And we do hereby appoint the said professor, the sole executor of this, our last will an-d testament. In witness whereof, Wfe, the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Eleven, the testator, have to this, our will, written on 'parchment, set our hand and seal this nineteenth day of May, 1912. ills her sociability to Hope Stanwaity Ethel LIBRARY REPORT.

While telling you the various social functions of this Senior class we hope that not one of you underclassmen will envy us any of our good times, as, you know, your time's coming. We opened our social affairs with a Hallowe'en party at the home of Eva Roberts. The house was decorated with jack-o-lanterns, black cats and lots of spooky things. Freshmen, beware of Hallowe'en parties, 'cause they are awful scarryf' The evening was spent in play- ing various games, after which ice cream and cake were served. We de- parted at an early hour, having had what we considered one of the times of our life. On October 13, after having watched the faculty until we became familiar with each one's characteristics, we endeavored to mock them. The W. C. T. U. secretary CPearl Lewisl was with us that morning, and made a very interesting as well as instructive talk to the school on The Use of Tobacco. Miss Lowry fBeulah Stuckeyb sang Miss Dennison's favorite song ,entitled, If I only had a Sweetheart. M. L. Brooks CFrank Larsonj, as usual, had one of his literary stars favor' us with a selection. Arthur Hartley made a fine principal, except a little too much herpicide. Then, one morning at chapel our president called a meeting in Miss Lowry's room and we all thot that something was up. He asked us how we would like to have a taffy pull that night in the kitchen lab., and to be sure, we all wanted it-who wouldn't go to a taffy pull? Prof. Cochran and Miss Silvernail were our chaperons-but what would you think of a chaperon that would give you candy filled with salt? Well, that's what some of us thot, too. While waiting for the canfdy to cool we were favored by a few with flag drills and singing. When the candy was ready to pull we all rolled up our sleeves and started to work U5 It was great fun, and, when all the platters had been licked clean -noth- ing else to eat-we went home. The next on our list of goings was our theatre party CID Yes l- and Miss Lowry was our chaperon. She was fine, and we had all the pop corn we could eat. Our senior boys renowned themselves one morning by appearing with the pompadour hair cut. The boys couldn't get ahead of the girls so they came next morning having abolished all rats and ribbons. Prof. Catlett tglollid how much our beauty was improved but Oh I-What did the others in . The Seniors of Prof. Catlett's reading class honored us one morning with a play written by one of the members of the class, entitled The In- nocent Mistakef' If it had not been for this play Prof. Steward would never have known of Miss Benton's beau in Pittsburg. On March 21st, the Senior boys and girls played the Sophomores at basket ball. These games decided the winners of the penants for the class tournament. The games were fast and furious but the Seniors walk- ed away with both, scores being-boys, 65-233 girls, 13-4. We are looking forward to many more good times before the close of these happy senior days. One of these will be the annual senior picnic. Think of the fun we will have-a whole day romping through the woods. -37- i 4 V Another pleasant feature of our school life that We are looking Kfor- Ward to, is our class play.

When We look back and think of the good times we have had in the past years of high school life, We deeply regret that the time has come when We must leave the dear old school and its pleasant associations. Some of us, no doubt, will come back next year, While others Will go on to higher institutions of learning. But no matter Whether We continue our education or go out into the business World We are glad that there is something that ever tends to hold us together. FAREWELL TO THE SENIORS. For foiir years we Ue been together, Fonr years of toil and fun, Have passed with flying footsteps, since As Freshmen we begun. g What if we were a trifle green? Freshmen are always so,' The next year we were Sophomores, Anfl learned a lot, I know. As silly, love-sich Juniors, Onr days were lightly passed, Anal now we are the Seniors, We'oe reached the goal at last. How we'i1e enjoyecl onr work and play, We can't begin to tell, But now the time for parting comes, My classmates, fare you well. -33- THE TRAGEDY OF GENIUS. There lived a genius, a soul that dwelt apart, A dreamer that should be a bravely beating heart, Different from another child, his play amused him not, His outward seeming cold, his inmost soul white hot. He grew in form, the same as you or I, But, like a star, great thoughts gleamed ever in his eye, At school, because he did not play, the others did him shun, For him it pleased not to jump or ship or run. Through school he passed without an honored place, And all did pass him by with cold, averted face. He studied hard, made good grades, and did well his duty do But none to him did credit give, not even I or you. A maid there was, and one that seemed full fair, Eyes of honest brown, a wealth of chesnut hair, To her he gave his soul-deep love, but she returned disdain, She cared but little for the thrust that gave him deadly pain. Alone he lived throughout his weary life, A heavy-hearted one, bujfeted in the strife,- Pleasure was denied to him, labor was his share, His evenings filled with loneliness, his day dreams full of care At length he died, this soul that lived apart, And to the grave was borne, in a humble, low or-cart. Earth tumbled in upon him, who cared now not at all, The mourners wended home again, unconcerncd in his fall. 22 2? iii 211 Ten centuries passed, a pillar to the skies, A tomb of marble white, all in his honor rise, His feelings now are understood, his deeds are rightly read, But what avails it all for him, a thousand years now, dead? ...gg- 75-15 ' iggiiigi - V - X f Z QS X j Z YQ V 'la i -1,5 'fini-' fl 77 4 f f I .AI gl 75-1 'ily ,Z ,. . f if sg N I' r ,s ix A' Z' , X xg Y ' if' sy ,. , fc' - jfs X ' l 'Q I H. s it y 1-lf' L! lxfffx wm i lz i Till la T fVXsWW l!i fwwf. lWlXs.Nqr? it 5 V lu D. ix .

Undef the careful training of our competent teachers the intellect is developed, character fashioned and perhaps destiny fixed, during these precious months. What the Senior may be, depends upon what the Junior has accomplished. Happily, our school term has not been all work, for all work and no play brings about a combination that never could in any manner apply to our class. It will be ours to carry in memory the many pleasant rememb- rances of 1910-'11. , Just as would be expected, the 31st of October brought to our eager, hopeful minds a desire to give to the restless spirit of long ago a merry chase. So a hay rack party and marshmellow toast was planned. The moon, casting its many shadows of gruesome shapes and sizes, which were chased by the rustling leaves and guided by the laughter of our voices, seemed to add to the night a very weird and ghostly appearance. Then came many weeks of study before we found another opportunity to enjoy ourselves as only Juniors can. This was not only a marshmallow toast but we may be priviledged to call this a spread. It would be hard to bring. before you such fleeting and changeful fantasies that brighten this occasion, but you may understand that not one was either depressed or gloomy at this sumptuous feast. And when our school days are ended then the merry faces of today shall be the reminiscences of tomorrow. Sweet dreamland faces! How they come and go, Bringing to memory Days of long ago. -40- 5 'g,, .I 5D Pres., Lester Stebbins. Vice President, Mona Clare Huffman. Secretary and Treasurer, Theodora Halcomb. Class Colors: Gold and White. Class Flower: Daisy. Two years of our school life have past, and we feel that we have g?ii15:5l9mL1rch in prominence since we enrolled as Freshmen in the fall o . In our endeavor to stand, as a class, at the head of all the classes at the Cherokee County High School, our social functions have necessarily been limited. Early in the spring we decided that wienie roast would be the only way to throw off, for a very short time, the yoke of the over- studious. We arrived at lVIcClung's Park about seven o'clock. As we were enjoying the roast, several of the important UD Freshmen started toward our camp, but on the way they met a bunch of Seniors and aband- oned their attempts to -disturb us. We remained in peace undisturbed by the shrieks of Help! Help! from our unfortunate fellow students. Our class expects to do much in the remaining two years of our school life of the High Schoolg and, as our reporter of last year told you, we are each one for each other and all for the C. C. H. S. ON STUDIES. Alas, one can not lone and yet be wise, The moon-beams fair play all about the hills, But I must be abed, at dawn to rise To study Virgil and be filled with thrills, E'en at the memory of Euclid dead, But thou may'st go, without one haunting care, Or fear of future trial in heart or head, To wander with the nymph in balmy air. Should Minerra give to Cupid chiefest place? Can wisdom for that jewel, Lore e'er pay? And while I muse, may not some other, base, Entiee my nymph to be his lore, alway? Then go, ye studies, far beyond recall, Better ignorance, than not to lore at all. H42... 1111? ' I I s Q Q . 6 g.'i'ij,:j Qin' 2' g'3.

It might be said, as we entered the 'doors of C. C. H. S., that we were the freshest Freshman class that had ever entered, but as we are nearing the Sophomore year, we are gradually losing our greenish look and adopting more important airs. On the evening of March twenty-four, we decided to go on a lark. About seven o'clock we gathered at the home of Rev. Smalley, and from there proceeded to Rocky Roots. Upon arriving there we immediately built a bon fire and the evening was very pleasantly spent by toasting marshmallows and telling stories. Not only we, but also the Sophomores, Juniors, and even the Seniors, believe that when we pass out of C. C. H.

The Association is found in almost every county high school, col- lege and university in the United States. The aim of the Association is to bring all the girls nearer Christ and in a closer fellowship with each other in endeavoring to carry on Christ's work in our school. The weekly devotional meetings are a great help and inspiration to all the girls in studying Christ's work and teaching. The infiuence of the Y. W. C. A. is felt all over the school and the Y. W .C. A. girls are the greatest powers of theschool. In connection with the Y W. C. A. devotional meetings, the girls have organized a Bible Class, which meets once a week, to study the Parables of Jesus. The Bible Class, though small at first, is growing in interest and now has a good attendance. Any of the girls of the school may join this class even if they are not members of the association. We have large hopes for the work of the coming year, and with the support that the work of this organization is now receiving, we feel that the Master's work will be recognized and. that His course of study will be uni- versally elected by the girls of C. C. H. S. 52 Q. ina. In the past year the Y. M. C. A. has striven to carry out the work for which it was organized. The weekly devotional meetings have been the means of helping the fellows to know Jesus Christ as a personal Savior and to better meet the problems of school life. A three day evangelistic campaign, conducted by the State Student Secretaries, Daidsman and Whitehair, resulted in several decisions for the Christian life. The fellowship banquet given at the close of the campaign was one of the biggest things of the year. The Association stands for the best and highest things in school. lt numbers among its members and workers the leaders in athletics, schol- arship and social activities. CABINET MEMBERS 1911-12.

More practical subjects are being taught which are of a great benefit in social as Well as business life. On the night of March the sixteenth We were invited to the home of Miss Elder to practice yells for the coming contest. The company sere nade-d Miss Dresia and Rinehart, who represented us in oration and declamation. In the contest both of our representatives Won. Miss Dresia then represented the school in the district contest at Independence, and although she did not Win, We feel she did her Very best.

Motto- Educate for Business. The Cosmopolitan Literary Society is an organization of the students taking the Business course, conducted by them, and for the purpose of getting the greatest measure of good from the required literary Work. The society, as is all of the societies of the school, has the privilege of partaking in the inter-society contests. The society was organized about the middle of September, '10, the above persons being elected to serve as officrs of the society, and their services were to such a measure satisfactory, that the ociety re-elected them for the '11 term. The society has the privilege of giving two open literary meetings, but, owing to the rush of Work this year, We did not put on but one. Although the Cosmo society is composed chiefly of students taking the Business course, it is open to those taking the General and Agricul- tural course. Razzle, olazzle, never frazzle, .

The Clios have held their regular meetings this year With an enroll- ment of one hundred and twenty-five. To say that the declamations, orations and essays given this year Were of the usual high order, is to praiseythem no little. The society Work gives excellent opportunities for the cultivation of special talent. This has been proven in the fact that over half the cast of both the Y. W. and Senior plays have been Clios. The Clios have been active in all the other events of the school. Clios have been strong on the foot ball, base ball and basket ball teams. And just look at the number of Clios on the Annual staff. Then, too, both the valedictorian and the salutatorian of the Senior class are Clios. Earl Hitchcock, Who Won the Phil Keener gold medal in the prize essay, contest, Was also a Clio. i The open meeting of the Clios was held on April seventeen. A farce in two acts, entitled, A Box of Monkeys, was given before a good house, and the evening was enjoyed by all.

The regular course of study in music includes copying of music, sight reading and history of music. This Work is required of all the students who take the Normal course, but anyone may take up the -study who Wishes to. Besides this required Work in music there is the chorus. This year it contains over forty voices. The chorus has furnished some very pleasing numbers. They sang at the annual contest in debate, at the contest in oration and declamation, and also at the commencement exercises. The chorus did not compete in the annual contest which was held this year at Chanute, but the school was represented by Miss Helen Har- vey in solo. Miss Harvey Won first place. This made the fifth consecu- tive time that the honors in solo have been Won by this school at these annual contests. The orchestra deserves special mention for its splendid Work this year. Not only have they played on all occasions at the High School, but they have been repeatedly invited to furnish music for outside entertain- ments. The orchestra is under the direction of Prof. Steward. A special chorus was drilled by Miss Thomas and Miss Dennison for the Senior play. It added greatly to the success of the evening Much credit is due Miss Thomas for her untiring efforts during the time she has been instructor, and the best wishes of her pupils and the students in general, follow her as she retires from this Work. -571 C. C. H. S. CHORUS, '10, '11 -59- f .,RmNlllG T We should know how to translate our Latin, how to write and read our English, and how to work our problems in algebra and physics. But just as important is our manual labor, the combined use of our minds and hands. Besides the practical work one gets from the training, he learns the great lesson of exactness and perfection. The neglect of one little detail in the beginning of an exercise makes the whole piece wrong. This gives a good example of the building of a life's charactter. No other branch in our high school has shown so great an advance- ment as has the manual training department. A few years ago those in manual training made a few practice exercises and small articles as boxes, towels, racks, etc. Now the boys can show their accomplishments in chairs, book cases, tables, cabinets, wardrobes-in fact all kinds of useful house- hold furniture. Even the a-dvancement in each succeeding year is quite noticeable in method of work, variety and quality. There has been about ten more chairs made this year than last. The increase in picture frames, both in number and kinds, is quite noticeable: likewise of the bookcases and writing desks. Besides these there have beenladded to the stock, pedestals, plate racks, foot stools and many other ar ic es. One of the most interesting and advantageous divisions of the man- ual training is turning. During the half year spent in turning many beautiful pieces of Work are produced, as collar boxes, Indian clubs, ped- estals, etc. After one has taken a course in manual training, he will know how to appreciate the work of skilled workmen. For he has learned that to be a successful workman in wood and iron does not merely take manual strength, but the most active and acurate working of the brain. The manual training room is the center of attraction for visitors. Their first desire when coming to the school is to see the place where the boys do things, Acquiring the knowledge of German, English and al- gebra has been going on for generations and that is regarded as a matter of fact. But, for the students to make beautiful furniture and ornaments which has always been regarded the work of experts, and with the use of complicated machinery, is a marvel to the outsider. Manual training is coming more and more to be an essential factor in the high schools of today. The world is casting out the 'fads and frills of the past, and taking up the practical lines of work in schools as well is out. -60- Domzsfriu f QY T c me ?'v'ff W f 1 1 , W' y,'5 m.-6n A .I 2, 11 -3 .gg i 2f,ffl.,,f IH3 4 ?-Zn fi A gs ' fn?5 'L 1 : ll XX ' fig L fl?-Y-1 I EEIE CE' WILLIIID fdfv. DOMESTIC ART' A stitch in time saves nine, sings Miss Benton to the busy hum of a sewing machine as the domestic art class trips gaily into the room. And soon with needle, thimble and scissors they are miraculously transforming crude pieces of material into articles of use and beauty. The first year's work is done by hand, this training requires much patience and practice on the part of both teacher and pupils. But Miss Benton always gives her commands with a smile. The first articles made by hand are very practical, such as towels, aprons, laundry bags and etc. The second year's work is done entirely by machine, consists of a complete set of underwear, blouse and shirtwaist suit. This work not only developes accuracy and neatness but also originality and imagination, for each girl is required to plan her own garments. The second year class of 1911 was so large that the number of ma- chines in use could not supply the demand of the girls, and it soon became evident that there must be at least two more machines, when this fact became known the board readily provided two new machines. The department has made rapid progress in the few years that it has been established. The classes of 1911 have a more beautiful and com- plete display than any former class, and if the classes of the future do not fall short of this standard of progress, the influence of this department will be far-reaching. It will Ht hundreds of girls who will receive their training here, for the places which they will occupy in the homes of the future. They will be glad there was a domestic art department in the Cherokee Coutny High School. ,611 H DOMESTIC SCIENCE. Not to know at large the things remote, from use obscure and subtle but to know that much before us lies in daily life, is prime wisdom. -Milton. In this day and age the public turns their attention to the practical Education for the girl and the boy, making them more adept in their ornes. r The Domestic Science course can truthfully be said to be the most practical course in the school. But for life the universe were nothing, and all that has life requires nourishment. It is essential to the well being of the race that it will be well nour- ished, and one of the obj ects of the course is to make the students able to prepare food in a wholesome, appetizing and attractive manner, and to give them confidence in their own ability to execute with dexterity and skill the daily duties of life. Some of the important things in the course are the study and prepa- ration of meats, vegetables, pastry, frozen deserts, cakes, brea-d, and can- ning and preserving fruits. It is no less important to utilize the left overs, therefore reducing the high cost of living. Meanwhile they are learning table etiquette, the accomplishments of hospitality, the better ways of serving breakfasts, luncheons and dinners, both formal and home-like, for each girl has had practice in making menus, and the responsibility of preparing and serving one luncheon. Pl: 2? 2? The Cooking Class gave a luncheon jine, To the orchestra, who has been so kind, They did the best that they knew how. But how niuch bettel' they know now.

WEL LINE' NA' The Cherokee County High School aims to educate young men and women in all things needful to make their lives well rounded and useful. There are courses in literature, business, music, drawing, etc., and the number is completed by the department of clay-modeling. This branch was instituted only two years ago, but in this short space of time many beautiful articles have been made. Among the collection are lions, rabbits, butterflies, birds, potatoes, pigs, tigers, billikens, Happy Hooligans and various forms of statuettes, plaques and vases. The young people are ably directed in their work by Professor M. L. Brooks. When the course was first begun they had to work wherever they could find a vacant corner in the building, but now the room for- merly called the museum is occupied by the young sculptors. On all sides are the finished pieces of their work, and the table is taken up with many more in varying stages of completion. Visitors to the institution always like to see the clay modeling room and all comment favorably upon the achievements of the students.

Buzinezz The world today is based on the business training which has taken centuries to develop. In every line of work people have to cope with one another to gain the victory, and the man that is not thoroughly prepared will be the one to find himself to be the one at the bottom. The people of today are grasping, eccentric and progressive, always trying to find something new that will not require so much time to pre- pare for the battles of life. This is the cause for so many taking up the short course in the so-called business colleges scattered throughout the country. The progressive business man will not tolerate incompetency, and the young man or woman who has had adequate training in the various branches of the business course does not experience the meaning of ai ure. The Business course of the Cherokee County High School is thorough and complete. It requires three years to complete this course, but when it is finished you can face the business world with a firmness that can come only through a competent training. No one in preparing for the life work can do better than to consider, very seriously, a thorough training in a business course. A business training is essential in every phase of life. Educate for business. Persons taking the three months course in the so-called business college, do not stop to think of the aadantages gained by taking a full course in a reliable school. The 'man that makes a success of business is the man who has a thorough knowledge of his work. The person with inferior training can- not hope to cope successfully with the competent man. The competent man is the one who is prepared to meet and success- fully dispose of all difficulties that come between him and his goal.

Under the supervision of the State University, a state debating league was organized. The state was divided into districts corresponding to the Congressional districts. Preliminaries were hel-d among the schools of each district, the Winning team going to the inter-district con- test. The Winners in this were to enter the state contest held at Law- rence. ' The team of three, chosen to represent our school, was composed of Orin Strong, Frank Dresia and Roy Burt. They met the Montgomery county team on January 6th and debated the question: Resolved, that the initiative and referendum should be incorporated into the legislative system of Kansas. We debated the affirmative side, but after a hard fight, lost to Mont- gomery, the decision of the judges being two for the negative and one for the aflirmative. Although they lost, we felt quite proud of our con- testants. They did splendid Work and had to oppose an especially strong team. L65... Our Winners.

I well remember the time and always shall, though I shall live four score years, the first fatal arrow from Cupids bow that pierced my heart. It was at a social gathering of country boys and girls that this story be- gins. The fall I was twenty years of age I was invited to a taffy pulling. This was the first taffy pulling I was ev-er at. Early in the evening the youngsters started a play party. The first game was Skiptamaloo. 1 stood back in one corner like a scared pup and watched the girls and boys as they whirled around the ring. When they were tired of that game an- other was started. The Deacon's daughter, Sally Jones, came around and asked me if I would play with her. Now Sally was red headed and her face was all covered with freckles, but I said I guess so and away we went. the play was Drunken Sailor or something of that kind. Well, we just went sailing, I swung Sally and the other girls swung me. I finally concluded she was not so freckled as I thought, but her hair it was red. toliierle was no question about that, but I began to think red hair nicer than ac . . The taffy was done by this time, the girls took the taffy and found partners to help them pull. Two or three other girls wanted me to help, but I would not do it. I just stayed with Sally. We pulled taffy until she was tired, then we sat in a corner and she just talked so sweet. We both had fell in love, and bad, too. Finally the party broke up and I asked Sally if I could have the pleasure of seeing her home. About the time we reached her home a blizzard came up from the north, the wind blew a hurricane. I began to think I would freeze before I could get home in such a storm. Sally insisted that I should stay all night. I hap- pened to think I had been wanting to see the deacon for a good while, so I concluded to stay. The room in which I slept had a pane of glass broke out and the wind poured in cold enough to freeze a monkey. I looked around for something to stop it up. I could not find anything so I used my pants. While I was dreaming happy dreams that night the deacon's old brindle cow came around the house hunting some devilment to get into. Finally she spied my pants sticking in the window. Well, the old huzzy just pulled them out and chewed them up. Next morning when I awoke I was almost froze, the wind was pouring right in upon my head. I looked for my pants but they were nowhere to be found. I took break- fast that morning in the deacon's Sunday pants. Sally thought it was just too funny, but I could not see the point. THE BEGINNING. Mary, how did you happen to marry John, anyway? Well, Jennie, I'll tell you, but it's a rather long story, and it began back in our high school days. We were visiting together after several years, and were recalling bygone pleasant memories. You know John was not popular with the girls because he was rather reserved and bashfulg neither did he excel in athletic contests or in his classes. For these reasons he was generally alone, and would probably have never had a chance to be with any of the girls if there had been enough boys to go round. If you remember, there were only half as many boys as there were girls in our class, and I've of- ten wondered what the other girls would do after the boys were all taken. But suppose the world needs lots of teachers and saleswomen and the rest will have to be spinsters or missionaries. But that is not telling why I began to like John. It all began at one of those marshmallow toasts, for which our class was so famous. We started out just about the time the moon rose, large and round, and solid gold. All went well as We strolled along the railroad, until we came to the ford at the bluffs. Here my troubles be- gan. Some of the girls had been safely helped across and I started to cross alone. When about half way across, a rock that I stepped on, turned over and my foot slipped into the shallow water. All the others laughed at my predicament, but John immediately helped me out and up the bank. The others soon forget the incident, but he stayed by me and sympathiz- ed with my hurt feelings. We Went on to the gathering place and had a merry time toasting marshmallows, talking, laughing and telling stories. At our feet was a bend of the ,stream whose clear waters reflected the light of our blazing camp-fire, around which we always drew a little closer when our beloved teacher, Miss Jones, began to tell her deliciously weird ghost stories. At our backs was the rock-ribbed cliff, stretching high above us and over- hung by the trees upon its summit. All about were the rough rocks that had tumbled from above, serving us for seats when we grew weary. Pleasure was unrestrained, and we did not notice the lapse of time, when suddenly a blinding flash and a dreadful thurderclap told us we were caught in a storm. On a sudden, all was confusion. Everyone sought the shelter that could not be found. No one had brought an umbrella, and the big drops began to come down thick and fast. Some of the girls sat down behind the big rocks or stood beside the rugged trunks of the great trees. Others vainly sought safety in flight. I was standing undecided what to do when suddenly John was at my side again. He persuaded me and another girl friend to follow him, and we went up the gorge a little way, where he showed us a little grotto. It was scarce- ly large enough for three, but we crowded in, John standing nearest the entrance almost in the rain. Here We stayed almost an hour, while the rain fell in streams and boiled down the channel. The thunder rolled and reverberated among 169, the rocks and we shrank as each lurid lightning flash lit up the wind- tossed trees. It was over almost as soon as it had come. The rain ceas- ed and the Wind died down to a gentle breeze. Soon the stars came out and the moon, and we prepare-d to go home. As We came together We were certainly a different looking spectacle from what might have been seen earlier in the evening. No one Was hurt, but all were feeling rather uncomfortable. Few of the girls had brought Wraps, and the air was damp and cooler after the tempest, but John forced me to take his coat, altho he should have kept it himself. He helped me up the muddy road to the railroad track, and We all came home. That is how he vvon my first interest, and I think I will never have more respect for his kind heart and unseliishness than I had that night. The World, too, has learned his true worth, for you know We move into the governor's mansion tomorrow, and I believe the White House is not too much to hope for. EIN SCHOENES MAEDCHEN.

'Tis an absurd question, requiring an equal- ly absurd answer. A Freshman is a Senior in the embryo. He is usually overburdened with books and possibilities. Of course he outgrows the books after he has become a Sophomore, by the virtue of having spent one Whole year in adorning the campus and having barely missed being used to garnish the principal's Thanksgiving turkey. As to their possibilities. You know all about their possibilities. Freshmen are bargain hunters almost as inveterate as some fo the worthy patriots of the petticoatg and, having these bargain-seeking pro- pensities to such a marked degree, they naturally snap up the first great scarehead that is shoved in their general direction, which is usually a reduced rate on chapel tickets. In spite of their Verdancy, the Freshmen really have some noble aspirations. In fact, they are the only classmen who are seriously troubled in that way. But, this is a small matter. Most of them get over it. Don't think that there is no use for the Freshmen. They are the future of every school, the flower of every campus, though often mis- taken for Nile-hued samples of a beautiful Bermuda lawn. Their man- ners resemble a judicious mixture of the chrome and blue. Nuff sed. Let us pass on to an equally interesting subject. THE SOPH. ' A Sophomore is a cross between a Freshman and an inspired jack- ass. The only resemblance to a human is the fact that he doesn't wiggle his ears when he brays. In his own eyes, the Soph is the monarch of all he surveys, which is usually nothing greater than a two foot placard, warning all comers to keep 05 the grass, which he has continuously at- tached to the back of some unsuspecting Freshman. Mr. Freshman innocently ambles along, amid mingled shouts of joy and derision from his superious, while his noble persecutor proudly prances behind him, holds his sides and Hel Haws! The faculty see him through a greatly modified perspective. But even they look at him with horror, then look at the Senior, and begin to wonder if there is not some truth inthe adage You can lead an ass to college, but you cannot make him think. THE JUNIOR. A Junior is what would be called, in the scientific world, a free lance. He is the happy medium between the sublime and the ridiculous. possessing all the good qualities of both the Soph and the Senior, with- out being extremely sublime or positively ridiculous. His chief occupa- tion is having a good time and trying to please his teachers, which, to him, seems a very difficult task . A Junior is never known to have more than three different girls in one week, unless there are more than three different affairs to go to, and 171... in such case, he usually compromises and takes one of them twice. .Qne of the notable characteristics of a Junior is his charitable dis- position. Some go so far as to say that even firewood will burn better after. a visit by a bunch of these jolly carefree free lances. Of course, this idea sounds preposterous to the uninitiated, but some of the Seniors firmly believe in it. There has been some talk of abolishing the Junior class entirely, but committees appointed to investigate the matter, report that it is a ne- cessary step in the evolution of a Senior, so we must be consoled by the fact that one is rarely ever a Junior more than twice. A SENIOR. A Senior is a conceited individual, raised by his own efforts, plus a fifteen faculty power motive force, to that coveted position from whence he is so soon to step hopefully out into the world of strife and become a successful failure. Of course the Senior doesn't look at it this way. If he did, he would never take the last step. In other words, he would major in campusology, footballology and girls, and postpone the study of more solid subjects definitely. The brain of a Senior is filled with a confused medly of queer no- tions. He feels highly elated when, after having spent an hour conning a Prof. out of 95 in Phychology, he leaves the office. But the experienced professor usually places the five before the nine. So nothing is gained except the short lived pleasure caused by the psychological affect of the chat upon the perverted mind of the Senior. The self appreciation of the Senior is one of his main characteristics. But we must not blame him for this. It is merely a gradual accumula- tion of vanity from his earliest school days, up, which must explode in a manner most disconcerting upon his contact with the real world. The Latin class was very dumb, Some of them were chewing gumg The teacher sighed, They didn't know a Latin word, Of gerunds they had never heard, She almost cried. She said to Mr. So and So, You conjugate the verb 'amo, Oh, yes you can. I amo, then began the lad, He amos tu, now that was bad. She needs a fan. Fatnttng she reached the outer door And gave her sentence from the floor, She was not partial: f'GutZty of ignorance, these Sophs, I'll lay the matter 'fore the Profs, Then get the 'Marshall'. ..72.. SUCH IS THE FACULTY OF C. C. I-1. S. Often do we read of the brave gods and fair goddesses who inhabited Mount Olympus, often have we heard of their thrilling adventures, but did you ever stop to think of what ever became of all these immortals? To wonder where they are now? No? Then listen and you shall learn of these things. There was once a great assembly of all the immortals. All the brave Jupiter sat in the midst thereof. Now when they were all assembled, Mi-- gods and fair goddesses of Mount Olympus were there, and lo, behold! nerva, goddess of wisdom, arose and spake among them: Hearken to me now, ye deathless gods to the words that I shall say. For many years have we immortals dwelt on Mount Olympus and wisely and righteously cared for the dear earth below. But now methinks it would be of great event to take unto us a mortal soul and body and sweep down over the misty deep and dwell on Earth. So spake she and in the hearts of the gods there stirred a yearning to do this thing. Jupiter, highest of all the gods, marked this and uttering his voice spake to them winged words: My child thou hast righteously spoken, but to what land shall we go ? And Minerva, the virgin goddess of wisdom and skill answered him saying: A land there is across the dark deep brine wherein is a great temple of learning erected, by name of C. C. H. S. There it is I long to go and great influence could be wrought thereof by us. So spake she and all the gods assented thereto. And she continued saying: A great desire have I to see the language of the English spread throughout the earth and with all my wisdom will I take unto me that call- ing and my name shall be Ethel Lowry. , So spake Minerva and great acclaimation arose. And anon Hebe, goddess of youth, arose and spake among them: And to this great tem- ple of learning, I too shall go, and verily will I teach followers thereof, the great art of music and song, and I shall be youngest among you and take unto me the name, Ambrosia Thomas. So spake Hebe, and many agreed thereon. And soon Apollo, god of the Sun arose and said: And I too shall go and there will I show them the great arts of Nature and chemicals, and there too with my shining top will I continue to throw radiant beams o'er all as I have on this our temple of Mt. Olympus, and I shall be called William Morgan. So finished he, and Mercury, the heavenly messenger and forerunner of mathematicians, arose and spake out: To this land shall I go and instruct many in the science of numbers. And great will be the knowledge I shall spread giroiighout that temple of learning and they shall know me as Charlie roo s. So soon as he spake, Vesta, goddess of the hearth, an old maid by choice, spake unto them fleeting words: Lest the goodly folk of this land forget themselves of their health, I shall be one to attend to that duty and I shall bear the name of Nina Dennison. So spake Vesta, and anon Themis, goddess of Justice beloved by all the gods arose saying: t'And thither shall I go and teach them the mystery of the different forms of writing and I shall be known as Nora White. So she spake and all the gods tho't it to be a great deed and soon Vulcan, the blacksmith, and general worker of the gods arose and spake among them: Being of so much service to ye gods here on Olympus, al- beit I too, shall go to that renowned place and continue my goodly service and I shall take unto me the name of Merritt Brooks. So spake Vulcan and the gods rejoiced. Soon Diana, goddess of chas- tity, arose and spake unto them saying: With my good and noble heart will I leave Mt. Olympus and dwell in this dear land and assist in caring for these people and many will love me for my chaste ways and all shall call me Bessie Oliphantf' Even spake she and anon Aurora, the beautiful goddess of morning arose and said unto them: To this famous temple many dear girls do go who surely must know of all good things to eat and pretty things to wear and it shall be I by name of Fidelia Benton who shall bring it about. So spake Aurora and in the heart of one there stirred a strange feel- ing. And quickly Cupid, young but mighty god of love arose and spake in quavering tones: Whither Aurora goeth, I shall go and in that place shall I constantly remind them of the world and people before them and my name shall be resounded again and again as Willie Steward. Even so Cupid spake and all the gods were happy. And anon Mars, the great god of war arose and hailed them: Great shall be my calling in that place, how they will long and yearn to write' even as I Write and all shall admire my greatness and I will bear the name of Wilbur Jarrett. So spake Mars. Howbeit Juno, the kind Protectoress of earth utter- ed her voice saying: Long have I loved earth and protected her, especial- ly her early ancestors. They and their language I loved dearly and I shall make it of great importance there an-d I shall bear the name of Cora Silvernailf' So spake Juno. Anon Phosphor, the marning star, star of Venus, glorious to behold, arose and uttered winged words: To this land I shall go and science shall be great work among them, for in that do I delight and many will admire my Ways, and they shall know me as Warren Cochran. So spake Phosphor, the star of Venus and straightway Venus, goddess of loveand beauty, arose and spake in lovely tones: Where Phosphor leads me I will follow, for he is my star. Many there will be who will adore me for my love and beauty and without me your temple of learning would be incomplete, and unto me shall I take the name of Lucy Jones. So spake Venus and all the gods rejoiced. Now Jupiter, mightiest of all the gods, betook it to him to speak and he uttered his voice and spake among them: Thus shall we all go to the land of great learning and there as I have been here, will I be Father and Ruler over all. And my name shall be Merton Catlett and we will all love and protect the followers there- of, and such will be the facility of C. C. H. S. There is one disadvantage to Mission Furniture.

' ERIMUSNE SIC? Clarence had labored hard for four years at high school. Living three miles out, it had been necessary for him to arise in the very early hours of the morning, that he might get to school by 8:30. Again at night the hands of the clock would often point to twelve, ere he had finished his work and lessons. Of course, at this rate, he had lost an enormous amount of sleep in the four years, and so, as he rode out towards the bluffs on the day after commencement on the last Senior picnic, he, nodding and yawning, furnished amusement for the others by the vigor with which he struck at the flies which his mischievous classmates counterfeited with straws and pins. P O, gee. he said to himself as they reached the picnic grounds, I feel like just crawling off where I wont be disturbed and then turning on full sleep ahead for a week. So he soon strolled apart from the noisy crowd and down along the cliff. A few rods along he stopped to lean against a large boulder. As he cast about for a place to lie down he noticed a small cave directly be- hind the boulder. He stooped down and looked in. It was just the place -nice and cool, and a bed of dry leaves. He hesitated a moment at the thought of snakes, then, having decided that all energetic and progres- sive reptiles would be out in the sun on such a glorious day, he started in. As he crawled in his foot struck a small stone, upon which one side of the boulder rested and knocked it loose, whereupon the boulder im- mediately rolled against the cliff, effectually closing the mouth of the cave. Clarence settled down among the leaves, saying with a sigh of satisfact- ion I guess they'll not disturb me now. He was awakened by voices outside. He listened. A voice, not al- together unfamiliar, was saying, It seems hard to destroy a spot around which cling so many pleasant memories. It was here that we used to come on our class picnics and marshmellow toasts twenty-five Years. Grace and .I usually together. At our last picnic one of those mysterious and inexplicable things happened. Clarence Laizure, one of the eleven- ers, came out with the crowd, but was missed when we started home, nor was he ever heard of afterward. ...771 Several theories were advanced as to what became of him, but the facts will, probably, never be linown. Prof. Catlett, reasoning from a psychological basis, thought that. since Clarence had always been a great dreamer, and, since he, himself was, naturally, the principal character in his dreams, he had become such a dream character that he vanished with his latest dream. The fact that such surroundings as these tend to pro- duce day dreams would seem to bear out this theory. Prof. Brooks, from a mathametical standpoint, thought that, since Clarence had always been a variable approaching a limit, he had at last, probably, fallen over it. Well, let me take a last look at the old cliff, and then, if you're ready, touch it off. It seems hard, hard-but sentiment must give way to business. Clarence heard rapidly retreating footsteps and then-the Whole cliff seemed to rise and split asunder, and he was hurled bodily out into the light. When he started to rise, something held him down. He ex- amined himself but seemed uninj ured. Then he saw the trouble-a heavy rock lay on his whiskers, which he was astounded to find were grown to be quite extensive. Just then the engineer, Frank Larson, and one of his assistants, came up to see the effect of the shot. One may easily imagine their as- tonishment to find a long-haired, tattered stranger lying among the rocks. They removed the rock and assisted him to rise. As he looked the stranger over, Frank thought of Achaemenides. He asked his name, to which he replied that he was Clarence Laizure before he went to sleep, but he was uncertain as to who he might be now. At first Frank was incredulous, but when Clarence told him what he was do-ing when Miss Oliphant canned him from the study room, his doubts were removed and he called the powder wagon, driven by Harvey Cooter, who was back eastvrecuperating from an injury received from a bucking broncho on his ranch in Idaho. On the way up to the city they met a corpulent farmer, whom Frank stopped and introduced to Clarence, as your old friend, Frank Merri- weatherf' Mr. Merriwether was both surprised and pleased, and invited him out to the farm, as Anna always liked to see her old classmates. As they entered the city they met Mayor Haearrell and a stranger. Frank called Amos over to meet his old classmate . The mayor was glad to see him and told him he must come around to the house, as Anna would be glad to see him. He then called to the stranger to come over and meet some of his old classmates. He introduced him as Hence O'Bryan, of Schilling, O'Brian Sz Co., of Pittsburg, who is negotiating a contract for the construction of a sewer system. Our population is now 57,000, and most towns of 5,000 have sewerage, so it's about our time. Hence was glad to meet his old friends, and invited them to call at the hotel, as An- na would be glad to see any of her old classmates. Just then the water wagon came along and Amos called to the driver, Wait a minute, and let's have a class reunion. The water man was es- pecially pleased to see Clarence and Hence, and made them all promise to call on him the next evening, adding that Anna would be glad to see any of her old classmates. 178- As they drove on Clarence asked what was being done with the rocks from the bluffs. Frank told him that the larger ones were being used in the foundation of a ten story sky-scraper office building, which J. Koontz 8x Sons were building at the corner of Maple and Parmenter avenue, and the smaller fragments were being used in pavnig the streets, as he could see, for they had come upon a bunch of prisoners breaking up rock. One of the prisoners looked up and called out, Hello Swede' Frank stopped and asked Burt, for it was no other, to come over to the wagon. HO' I was afraid he would come to this, spoke Clarence. Did you get into another class scrap and-and- And kill some one '? finished Burt. No, it wasn't quite so bad as that. Simply the govern- ment didn't like one of my editorials in my paper, A Speal for Treason, and prescribed a six months course of pulverizing pleasant pellets. 1 don't think I'd have been convicted if I'd been tried anywhere but in Judge Housholder's court, but he thought it would be a good one, to make me break rock. As they reached the southeast corner of the square Frank, pointing to an old fellow, grinding scissors, etc., at ten cents each, on the corner of the court house lawn, said: There's an old classmate, do you know him 'P' Clarence looked - closely, then de- clared, Why, its Homer,-and he's still grinding. It must be an awful habit to hold a man like that. Clarence, not fancying such hirsuteness, desired first to go to the barber shop. On entering, he found Fred Carlisle to be the proprietor. Upon his asking Fred how he came to be a barber, after he had taken the Normal course at school, the tonsorial artist replied that, at school, he had become so used to just shaving through that he just had to go on shaving through life. Upon leaving the shop, he made at once for the Palace Hotel. The landlord looked at the name he signed on the register, then looked him over closely, and finally asked if he had been in the class of '11. Being assured that he was, John took him into the parlor and introducedhim to Mary. Afterward he told him there was some one in the kitchen who woul-d probably like to see him, and took him down and introduced him go gmy French chef, who learned cooking from Miss Benton at the High c oo . After leaving the hotel, Clarence went down the street toward the Davies Clothing Store. Nearing the square he noticed a, seemingly, very old street-sweeper, who seemed to be asking something of everyone who came along. As Clarence came up, the sweeper stopped and asked for a chaw of tobaccof' On the corner of the court house lawn, one whom he took, at first, for Yens of the Sunday supplement, was posting circus bills. But when Clarence accosted him with, Hello, Yens, he turned upon him surprised with Wy, ay no bane Yens, ay bane Teodor Ny- stromf' Clarence then noticed on the posters that the biggest attraction seemed to be the two famous Scotch equestriennes, Jeanne Hamilton and Pearl Douglass McMillan. Clarence, in his surprise, could only gasp, Still riding? At the haberdasher's he met his talkative old friend, Cecilia Carlson. From her he learned that Freda Jones was matron of an orphan asylum, and Leota assistant editor of a paper at Ft. Scott. Leota, you know, ...79-.. added Cecelia, used to be rather slender and delicate, but the last time I saw her she was quite strong. You know Mae and I are making an ex- tensive tour of the principal cities of the United States in behalf of Woman's Suirage, and we have met with some of our old classmates in some of the most unexpected places. While in Chicago we went to the Iroquois Theater to see Ethel Dresia's great scenic production, HThe Prince of Darkness and the Father of Lies, and what do you think, we found Mearle Mason starring in the title role. At Denver we found Helen Harvey making a great hit in a ten-days engagement at the Coli- seum. But I received the greatest surprise last night at the Mystic. The presentation was a reproduction of Parisian opera, and whom did I rec- ognize the prima donna to be but Beulah Stuckey. By the way, in this paper is a list of the graduates of C. C. H. S. for '36. Some of them may seem familiar. Clarence took the paper and ran his eye over the list. The first name that caught his eye was Thos. Benton Steward. Farther down in the list was Moses K. Housholder, Theo. Wilson Thomas, Grace S. Larson, Mozart Wagner Carlisle, Wm. McCartney Koontz and James Roberts Bright. Clarence laid down the paper and said, with a sigh, Well, I guess I'Ve been asleep all right. But I canit stand any more surprises today. And forthwith he wended his way down Maple street and on out into the country toward his old home. f s It Q Xlllfi ' .A , .. 1-if Q. QS is - :Egg 0' Ak .1 git ? T, I ,t 1 sf as LL og CN A STRIKE --801 A LOVE STORY, FOUNDED ON FACTS. Black were the looks on the face of Petey Griggs as he sourly gazed at the back of his fast disappearing professor. There were reasons for him being so disconsolate, and usually being of a most jovial disposition, it was all the more noticeable. In fact he had mistaken the Prof. for a gentle lamb, and had tried to pull the wool over his eyes. But the all- wise faculty member had been ileeced before. So he merely raised the blind and turned a considerable amount of blessed sunlight on the subject. If the truth were known, Petey was desperately in love. But so far his lack of nerve had allowed nothing more desperate than the writing of a great number of slushy verses, in which he vivi-dly pictured her fair hair, lovely blue eyes, entrancing smile, and on down the line with a string of adjectives as long as the tail of Halley's Comet, or occasionally sending candy by a trusted friend who made the most of every opportunity to spring a joke on the subject of his friend's affections. Petey tried to be a stoic, and so far succeeded, that he often failed to blush when he thought of her. But, in the presence of anyone but Slats', McKahn, his most intimate friend, the advice of whom he always asked in all aiairs of the heart, when the subject was mentioned he never failed to get purple aroun-d the gills, ' Petey's disease, unlike most of the so called troubles, was really tro- bles with his heart. Petey was not effeminate, by any means, but he had a particular liking for the eternal feminine. This was the cause of all his trouble. In the presence of young ladies he always suffered from acute palpitation of the heart, and his countenance usually resembled a fried tomato, but if the same young lady looked at him twice, within the course of five minutes, he would turn a deeper crimson. If by chance, she smiled, his ears got so hot they curled his hair. Petey thrust his hands deep into his trouser pockets, and strode sil- ently across the campus. When he was silent, there were but two possible causes, sleep or else he was planning revenge. But, so great was his an- ger that before he had gotten half way across the campus, he was think- ing in an undertone: 'Tll get even with him, he muttered to himself, I'll bet I fix the old lobster, if I have tof live a thousand years to do it. Sounds like a long life for you, old boy, laughed Slats who had overtaken him. What's the matter with you anyhow? That mug of your's looks like a message from below. OhI 'Tis a sad, sad world began Petey, waving his arms wildly. af- ter the manner of a Holy roller convert. Cut it out, growled Slats, nipping his friend's attempted flight of oratory in the bud. None of that mushy slush while I'm around. Now, honest, old boy, what's ailing you ? i'Well, Slats, Old Muggins got me into a dickens of a mess today. Canned you from class, I suppose? No, worse than that, said Petey, mournfully shaking his head. '4What do you think I care about being canned from class? Well, that's about the worst thing that could happen to me just now. One more can in Latin and it's a tin bucket and brick for me. But, cheer up. It'll all come out in the wash. -g1.. Ah! Pete, you don't understand, you never do. There are lots worse things than getting canned from class. You just wait until you get stlruck. I'll bet you get it bad. You know that all adage, 'Hope deferr- e T Well, by all means, I hope I never get it as bad as you. You can't even look at a girl without burning up. Now just what has Old Muggins been doing that you should be so sore? Well,it's this way, 'Dippy'-you know who I mean, I call her that be- cause I'm so dippy about her-anyway she is in the afternoon class. Just thought I would change classes so I could see her oftener- Say, you've got it bad, old boy, roared Slats. Don't interrupt me, you wouldn't think it was a bit funny if it were you. Today I came in class and sat down by Tommy Noland, and- i And prepared' to bask yourself in the radiant sunshine of her smiles interrupted his friend, I'm teling this and if I want any help I'll ask for it. Now, I hadn't been there five minutes till the old fossil asked me if I had changed classes for companionship. Well, I guess he missed you that time, Petey. But what did she do? Did she smile at you? Close your face. She didn't do anything. Why should she? She doesn't know anything about it. Well, of all jellyfish! I'll have to start a side show with you for the exhibit. No one would suspect that you were in any way related to a vertebrate species. Here you've been crazy about her all year, and she doesnit know anything about it. I've a big notion to cut your acquaint- ance. Slats I thought I could depend on you, but I see that I can't. I was just trying to cheer you up. I admit that I need cheering up, but you always want me to do the impossible. S'long! see you at church Sunday night, and if you don't get up nerve and at least try. I'll tell the rest of the fellows and see that you get a free ride out of town. It wont be in a taxi either. Griggs went home, thoroughly disgusted with himself and the world in general. Nevertheless he put in two long days trying to seem natural, which he utterly failed to do. At last Sunday night arrived. Sunday nights usually arrive. Although it seemingly takes some of them longer than others. Petey managed to live through the sermon, but after the dismissal his knees began to knock together, and his teeth to rattle. Looking around for a means of escape, he discovered two very kind and solicitous friends guarding each door. And, as it was strictly against the rules of propriety to leave through a window, there was nothing left for him to do but to meet his fate. So putting on a bold front, he advanced to within three steps of the unsuspecting young lady. Immediately his heart began to speed up, until it's pulsations resembled the beat of a trip-hammer. His hair began to frizzle and kink around his ears, and his countenance turn- ed the color of a pickeled beet. He placed his hand over his heart and made a low bow, as he had heard of courtiers doing in ancient times, and stammered M-M-Miss-. Just then his vocal organs declared a strike and his actions became absolutely automatic. He bowed profusely and kept on bowing. When he regained his normal senses, some live minutes later, the church was apparently deserted. Just as he turned to leave the cheery voice of his friend broke the ter- rible silence. That's the richest ever. If the treasury wasn't on the bum, we would give you a medal. But come on up town and have a soda on me. And Petey walked out, a much sadder, if not a much wiser boy. SPRING FEVER. CDedicated to W. B. C. and L. I. JJ Come forth, meine Lehrerinf' he said, Let's stroll the greening fields, And see where from its winter's bed, The violet lifts its azure head And in beauty stands revealed. The sun shines forth in splendor bright, All chill has disappeared, And nature seems now to invite To wander forth in pure delight, 'Mid fields no longer seared. Right willingly, mein Lehrer, said she, I fain will stroll with you, 'Tis a source of wondrous joy to me To watch the sun, with magic key, Bring nature's art to view. So trippingly away they went, Viewing nature, hand in handy Many happy hours they spent As children sweet on pleasure bent, Their cheeks by zephyrs fanned. Old Father Time has gone way back, Said she, I'm but a child, So let us climb the haystack, And slide down, as in days back, With spirits free and wild. The hours swiftly passed away, and darkness called a halt To the innocent children's happy play At sliding down the stack of hay. Now, who would think it a fault? -33- A MORNING IN CHAPEL.

As it fell upon a day, When all of ns were feeling gay, Sitting in our History rooin, With the dear professor gone, We did laugh, and we did talk, And we forined a little plot, Thinking as a joke 't would be taken still, By our dear Professor Bill. And when consented to by all, We np and went to the stndy hall. We inade it so lively in that rooni, That two of ns were inoved rather soon, Then a sonnd of footsteps on the floor, And next we heard hiin slain his door. Back down stairs he qnietly flew, Thinking QI expectj what to ns he would do. N ext day, fearing he wonld complain, Froin cutting class we conlcl scarce refrain, Bat not a word did he 'mention of the day before, Just went right on with class as of yore. When class was over he took ont his book, Giving each one two zeroes withont stopping to look Whether he gave them to Helen or Anna or Grace, Then, Oh! that contented look on his face, And from this comes forth what has long been a inystery That jokes can't be played on onr professor of History.

Every year the boys of the school get together and organize an Ath- letic Association, which tends to get the boys more interested in athletic games, etc. The association looks after the athletics of the school, such as buying supplies, etc., for the various teams. The Athletic Association has done some notable things this year. They bought a canvas fence to stretch around the athletic field which was very much needed. They al- so had a carnival which was a great success. The great consolidated Wild West show which is noted all over the world kindly consented to show their attractions for us. Other noted shows and a minstrel also were with us. Victor Housholder has been president of the association this year, with Prof. Cochran, as secretary and treasurer, has been instru- mental in bringing to the supporters of athletics, a high class of events.

Great interest was shown because it was the intention of the fellows to have a pennant-winning team this year. Although they were forced to work without a coach during the first of the season, they rapidly gained strength and speed under the watchful eye of Captain Housholder. So at the beginning of the games, they were able to make a pretty good showing. During the latter part of the season they obtained the valuable services of Mr. Heter as' coach, under whose directions they rapidly developed into one of the strongest teams in the history of the High School.

Immediately after the opening of school the Basket Ball boys began training for what they were determined to make it, a successful season. Every evening after school closed they would jump into their suits, and go for a long hike into the country, in this way working themselves into great endurance and also greatly strengthening their wind. After a period of this grinding work they began to train upon the court, each one striving to attain the very highest proficiency possible. And so when the basket ball season opened they were prepared to buck up against any team that might cross their path. They went through the season with a very good record, tying up with Webb City for the pennant. But when it came to the final test of strength and skill between the two teams, our boys took them down the line to the tune of 30 to 13, thus winning the pennant. BASKET BALL SCHEDULE. ' AT HOME.

Owing to the lack of gymnasium and a running track, but little Work has been attempted this year. A splendid squad started Working out, early in the season, but various things happened to discourage the men until, now, we shall not be represented in any of the state meets this year. This is to be regretted, since We have some extra good material in school. The team suffered quite a loss by an accident to Larson during foot ball season, Which puts him out of the jumps an-d pole vault. Yet, had the fellows received the proper support, and had they been provided with the necessary equipment, We might have had a strong team. With Housholder, Carlisle and Stauffer for high jump and pole vaultg Whiteside, Bowser, Larson and Hamilton for the dashesg Chubb and Woodard Bros. for the distances, Reid for the hurdles, and Thomas, O'Bryan and Housholder for the weights, there is no reason Why C. C. H. S. should not be represented by a strong track team. f TENNIS ASSOCIATION. Much interest has been taken in this popular sport this year. As soon as the season opened an organization was formed, with Byrl Hick- man, President, Less Henderson, Vice President, and Manry Stanvvaity, Secretary and Treasurer. Our one court has been in use almost continuously since the season began. The great need of the association is anothei' court. It has been planned to hold a tournament with other nearly schools In the preliminary for selecting the team, Harvey Cooter and Lester Stebbins Won in the doubles. The preliminary for the single has not been held at this time. -99- I J i P ' GIRLS ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION At the beginning of school, the girls decided to organize a girls' Ath- letic Association. Every one seemed to take great interest in it, and with the kindly assistance of Miss Dennison and Mr. Jarrett, we met and adopted our rules and regulations and elected the following officers: Florence Hoover, Secretary and treasurer. Kate Ketchum, President. Mona Clare Huffman, Reporter. 1 Then the respective classes met and elected class presidents as fol- ows: Jennie Hamilton, Sr. Theo Halcomb, Soph. Florence Hoover, Jr. Maud Hull, Fresh. About one-half of the girls of the school joined our association. When time to play basket ball came, we began to practice, but owing to the last year's team being nearly all Seniors, a practically new team had to be worked out. Miss Dennison, our coach, took great interest in us, and worked faithfully and hard all the time. On account of our association being new, we were rather short on funds, and having to pay all our own expenses, we did not play many games. The first game we played was with Weir City, which was a vic- tory for us. The next one was with the State Manual Training Normal at Pittsburg. They won by a small score. The other game was with Carthage. --lOl- MYSTIC THEATER VAUDEVILLE and PICTURES The show that stancls up for all the peo- ple, all the time against poor productions and graft.

The Alumni is THE big thing of the school, having three hundred thirty-ffour members, wise and good-looking. In our number there are school teachers stenographer,s, bankers clerks, bookkeepers, housekeep- ers, lumbermen, college students, artists, preachers, trained nurses, pro- fessors of various things, newspaper artists and reporters, post oflice officials, photographers, in fact you will find active, busy workers from this school in almost every walk of life. Not only is this a high compli- ment to the school as an educational institution, but it speaks well for the character training given through its influences. The school and its graduates, stand as a unit for all that is best in life, for honesty, morality, courage and truth. Through the members of the Alumni Association is this high standard maintained, and with them rests the reputation of their Alma Mater. Though this is a grave responsibility, and one that is keenly felt by each Alumni, they are nevertheless a jolly crowd and meet once a year at a banquet given during commencement week. At this time old friendships and school associations are renewed, and a warm welcome is given to the new Alumni, the members of the year's gradu- ating class. This year to our ranks will be added forty-five more young people, so To the class of Nineteen Eleven Here's at uielcome for each of you, To the ranks of the Alumni, And the green and white prove true. We're at happy bancl of young folks, Who will meet on May Nineteenth, When we'll 'nitiate you in the mysteries, Of the secret box, by jinks. There is nothing strange oi' startling In the little locked tin box, But gou'll be bouncl by oath and honor, To holtl tight the things it locks. Something cl1 eaclful's suite to happen To the one who reiveoils its depths, So to save your scalp and shoestmngs, You'll keep mum on this, I guess. Come out to the banquet, then, For you'i'e sure to have some fun, And when the merry eifowfl bireftks up at ten UD You'll feel that your life has just begun. MILDRED WALLER, ,O9. -104- ERY.

And anon, when Dawn, the rosy-fingered, appeared, there arose in the land a great noise, even a noise of many words, and Catlett, he of the long flowing tresses, arose and spake unto the Argives of the C. C. H. S. winged words, saying, Lo, these many days have I borne with thee, and with the noise of much talking in my halls, and often have I spoken soft words to persuade you to cease your palavering, but you heeded not, nor did your lordly souls consent thereto. And, behold, I waxed grievously wroth, and great anger burned in my heart, and I communed with myself in this wise: How, then may I stop this tumult, for behold, they are many and I am few, and a vision came to me, even a vision sent by the deathless gods who keep high Olympus. And lo, before my eyes, I saw a book, nd a voice spake unto me, saying, Give unto thy servants these books. Yea, let them arm themselves there- with and go forth over the halls and note all, even those who make loud cries in your halls, so ye may punish them with grevious words, and with demerits, and the deathless gods will help thee. And behold, I have done that which the -deathless gods commanded. So watch ye out, that ye may not meet a grievous fate. 216 P14 Pk What is Anna Mountjoy's favorite study?-Virgil.

Monday morning everything is bright, The teachers smile a welcome everywhereg There is no thought of worry, pain or care, 'Till we go home on Friday night. N0 tempest can be seen in all the sky, Nor storm enough to shake the trees with breeze Or hinder from their work the busy bees, 'Till we, on Friday, home must hie. Our classmates greet with pleasant nod and smile, Exchanging fancied fears of coming test, Expressing each for other wishes best, But Friday we must home ere while. The hfme-folks we are eiier glad to see, When homeward we at last our way do jindg But yearning, longing for those left behind, Is the thought that Friday brings to me. When school days o'er and tearful farewells spoken, And final Friday comes to classmates all, Let each to every other truly call, Old Friendship ties shall not be broken. -117- There was oiiee a girl named Zella, She had a cute little fellowg She said, Mr, Hough, It is you that I luf. He said Take me, my heart is quite mellow There ouee was a bog named Harry, Who declared he never would marry, But when he met Hope, He said, Nix ou that dope, The burdens of Hope I'll carry. There once was a fellow named Clarke, Who seldom went out after dark, He wanted at girl So he got Georgia Turrill, Arid how he sings like a lark. -118- ,...,-.L5 l My vi- a A lj' ,, , ff EVA! fXfiXk .. , 22 N ' fs mere fy Q md ite F' 0 mafbematfcgyv f 2410619 f PEOZZ' BROOKS, KJ!
